MicroStrategy sells $109M in Bitcoin, shifts strategy amid market downturn

MicroStrategy has sold approximately $109 million worth of Bitcoin, continuing a trend of divestment that began after a seven-week buying hiatus. The company utilized the proceeds to repurchase its preferred stock rather than increasing its Bitcoin holdings. This sale follows a similar $105 million divestment earlier in August and marks a significant shift from MicroStrategy's long-standing strategy of accumulating Bitcoin, which began in 2020 under Michael Saylor. The company's recent sales are attributed to a decline in Bitcoin's price and its own stock value, prompting a focus on building dollar reserves to meet financial obligations. AI
